Osteocephalus cabrerai is a frog in the family Hylidae. It lives in Bolivia, Brazil, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.  Scientists think it may also live in French Guiana. Scientists have seen it as high as 250 meters above sea level.

The adult male frog is 39.7–45.7 mm long from nose to rear end and the adult female frog can be as large as 71.4 mm.  The male frogs and female frogs look different.  The females have bumps on their skin called granules and the males have bumps on their skin called tubercles.  The adult frog is green with bronze and brown spots and stripes.  The sides are lighter.  The belly is cream colored.  There is a light mark above the lip.

Scientists named this frog for Isadore Cabrera.  Cabrera caught the first sample of this frog.
